Fixtures:

Rooms:

Repaint faded walls, ceilings and trim where needed.

Sand and refinish worn woodwork.

An immaculate, updated kitchen can sell a home. Update appliances and lighting if possible. If needed, re-caulk around sink, and re-grout around or replace kitchen tiles. Clean and organize the inside of all cabinets.

An updated bathroom that gleams can sell a home. Repair any damaged or discolored caulking around the sink, bathtub and shower. Be sure all towels and area rugs are bright and clean.

All Spaces:

Display the full value of your attic, basement, and other utility space (including crawl spaces).

Remove all unnecessary articles and debris.

Bedrooms:

Bedrooms should appear bright and cheerful.

Remove all excess furniture, and be sure that bedspreads and curtains are freshly laundered and attractive.

Atmosphere:

Limit the number of visitors or family members present during a home inspection. They can make the potential buyer feel uncomfortable.

Turn off the stereo and television so the potential buyer and agent can discuss your home in a relaxed environment, free of distractions.

Keep pets from disturbing potential buyers. Restrict them to the backyard or an alternative location.

Approach:

Be courteous and friendly.

Don’t insist on conversing with a potential buyer.

Never apologize for the appearance of your home. Let your agent address any derogatory comments or suggestions.

Let the agent emphasize the virtues of your home to potential buyers.

Avoid selling furniture or furnishings to potential buyers before they have purchased the home. This can potentially lose the sale.

Negotiations:

Let your agent discuss the selling price, terms, possessions and other factors regarding the sale of your home with the potential buyer.

If a property does sell above true market value, it may not appraise and the buyers may not be able to secure a loan

The property may eventually sell below market value
